When it comes to being a gearhead, we want to drive the most exotic cars on the planet. And not very slowly, not all the time at least. As a result, games like the Forza Horizon 5 allow you to have an experience of such cars – supercars, vintage, iconic, or even slow and old. The Forza Horizon 5 is one of the best games for gearheads as it has different terrains – sand dunes, mountain switchbacks, coastal lines, long freeways for speed runs, tunnels, snowy mountain tops, narrow city roads, even a volcano. It has cars meticulously designed and programmed to look realistic and proportionate to their real-life avatars, and also sound and handle like them.
Since going fast is something we all love, we often find ourselves driving the fastest cars in Forza Horizon 5, there is an experience that is less talked about. What if you just wanted to do silly things in between your hunt for better lap times and faster top speeds?
Well, if you want to have fun and have a laugh while playing Forza Horizon 5, here are some of our recommendations to get you started.
The 1973 AMC Gremlin X is a Wheelie Monster

Let’s start by talking about the desire to do what we have seen Dominic Toretto from the Fast and Furious movie series do – a wheelie! A heavy dab of the throttle and having the front wheel point to the sky is a feeling that never gets old. And while you can tune almost every car in Forza Horizon 5 to do this, we recommend doing it first in the 1973 AMC Gremlin X. It is not very expensive, costing 35,000 CR at the Autoshow. You can also get this through a Wheelspin or as a Super Wheelspin prize. While it is a rather modest car with a 5.0-liter naturally-aspirated V8 motor that makes 150 horsepower and 3-speed transmission, you can convert it to a wheelie monster with the right upgrades.
We recommend using the tune “Insane Wheeling” by “SoFT EaZzy” (you can search for tuning setups). It fits the car with a sweet 7.0-liter V8, drops the weight down to 2600 lbs. The tuning setup bumps the power output to over 1500 horsepower with over 1100 pound-feet of torque, all of which is sent to the rear wheels. It also makes the rear suspension incredibly hard and the front suspension extremely soft. The result is a car that will wheelie right from the start and the wheels will go up with every gear shift too!

The 1972 Reliant Supervan III is Just Silly

The Reliant Supervan III is another car that costs 35,000 CR or can be found as a prize in Wheelspin or Super Wheelspin. As standard, the Supervan III has a 0.7-liter in-line 4-cylinder naturally-aspirated engine that makes a humble 32 horsepower and 38 pound-feet of torque. It’s a slow car, but it’s a slow three-wheeled car, and you can see where we are going with it.
We suggest trying out the “Drag Queen” tune by “ProbablyAnAsdf”. This will fit your car with training wheels to help it from rolling over (it doesn’t but looks funny). It puts in a 2.0-liter motor that is tuned to push out 667 horsepower and 683 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels and gives the Reliant a top speed of over 200 miles per hour! Remember, now it weighs only 1087 lb and with so much power, you will find yourself leaning over and rolling all over the place.

The 1962 Peel P50 is Madness

There is nothing quite as silly as the Peel P50 in Forza Horizon 5. While this is a hard-to-find car, we suggest heading over to the Auction House where you can find it a lot easier. Once you have it, you will see it is a recipe for madness. As standard, it gets a 0.048-liter single-cylinder engine making 4 horsepower, and it weighs a puny 310 lbs.
We suggest putting on the “Drag Peel” tune by “DuckKing3722” which bumps up the power to 292 horsepower and 171 pound-feet of torque… to three wheels! That’s stupid power for a car with 50 inches of wheelbase. The result is mad burnouts, 360s, and a car that is challenging to control even through the slightest of turns. But it is a riot all the time and hence, extremely fun. Try pulling over, very slowly, to another car and scoot away leaving you and everyone else around you in splits.
Feel free to have a go at these, and you will find a new way to experience the Forza Horizon 5. It may not be the fastest, but it will certainly be a lot of fun.
